I’m on your side, but I take issue with “give everyone everything”. Some people can’t give, and they deserve enough, but not everything. You gotta rank up to giver yourself first.

As long as you remember that you are one of those people too. And don’t forget this, when you start experiencing pains. Because you agree that the corporations are the ones that are allowed to decide, not you.

You’re all doing your hardest to paint me like an asshole. You don’t decide what I think is enough. Being in pain is not enough. Having granite countertops is more than enough. My point is that I don’t want my economic value leeched to buy your dog treats while I can’t afford my own dog’s treats, but everyone’s hospital trips should be covered.

Nobody is trying shit. If anything you’re playing a victim card and making yourself look like an idiot.

Who says you would buy anything for anyone, by the looks of it you don’t like sharing and I’m surprised you’d even buy treats for a dog. What a stupid thing to say.

Shared healthcare should be for everyone. Including yourself when you’d need it. But when that happens I trust you will grab that victim card again and start moaning about how nobody is helping you.

Hmm. That sure sounds like your saying some people deserve more than others.

Are you saying someone with downs syndrome only deserves ‘enough’ to survive even though it’s not their fault and can do nothing about it?

Fuck off with shit. That’s fascism through and through.

No, I think living with downs syndrome is hell and would want to die.

I’m saying that everyone should have enough that life isn’t shit, but you aren’t doing so much as me, so I get an Alfa and you get a Civic.

I dunno about you, but every person with Downs syndrome I’ve ever met was more satisfied with their lives than I will ever be. Most issues that Downs syndrome people suffer from are societal and financial issues

What is this picture of? I’m not sure I get it.

This was an attempted correction for a L5-S1 Spondy. Basically the 5th lumbar vertebra slips anterior (forward) over the sacrum. This stretches the spinal cord, causing pain. The correction was attempted by using posterior fixation pedicle screws and rods to pull the 5th lumbar vertebra posterior (backwards) relative to the sacrum.

Based on this image, it’s hard to say - but very possible that this expensive procedure did not improve the pain the patient was experiencing. The spondy is still clearly present.

can you tell if this image off-angle or are the pins not parallel?

looks excruciatingly painful

Looking at the vertebral body endplates, I’d say this shot is off of a true lateral by some small amount. The screw placement looks OK (or at least, not glaringly bad) to me, I’d need higher resolution or an AP (anterior-to-posterior) to say for sure.

The vertebrae needn’t come back to its place but still give pain relief in the long term by giving it stability. It is usually accompanied by other procedures which also reduces strain on the nerve giving relief.

BTW I am a surgeon treating and operating for back pain.

Yep, this is correct. It’s not possible to conclusively determine the outcome of this particular procedure without a pre-op x-ray and the patient’s feedback.

As long as it’s lumbar or cervical spine related, sure! But I’m not a doctor, just have spent a few years designing implants for these procedures. :)
